Hotel Es Princep is a purpose-built five star hotel located on a sleepy corner of Old Town, in the Sa Calatrava district; a predominantly residential area. The hotel is owned by a Majorcan family hoping to echo the grandeur of a Mallorca manor house with elements of authentic Majorcan lifestyle.

Rosendals Trädgård might be my favourite place in Stockholm. Picturesquely located on the island of Djurgården, next to Rosendal Palace and surrounded by gravel paths and green fields, it’s easy to see why.

William Hazlitt’s former home is situated anonymously on the Soho Square end of Frith Street. The building looks deceivingly residential with a discreet entrance and drawn curtains. More observant guests may spot the name above the door or the blue plaque on the building which gives memory to its former resident.

The former red light district was never my favourite London neighbourhood. When I first arrived on the doorstep of London, some decades ago, Soho struck me as touristy, loud and well, ugly. And that initial feeling sort of stuck with me until I got to know her and I guess, started to appreciate her diversity.
